and installs into a standard PCI slot and supports a 32-bit and 33
MHz PCI bus.

Adaptec ATA RAID 1200A card, connect ATA hard disk drives to
it, run the BIOS Array Configuration Utility to create the first array

included with the Adaptec ATA RAID 1200A, to create and
manage arrays, and provide proper levels of fault tolerance and
event notification. See
